      Album Details

      Immerse yourself in the rich, resonant voice of the legendary Hermann Prey with the comprehensive compilation "Icon: Hermann Prey." Released on Warner Classics in 2011, this collection spans a staggering 231 tracks, offering a panoramic view of Prey's extraordinary career. With a duration of over two hours, this album is a testament to the artist's versatility and mastery, showcasing his profound interpretations of both Schubert and Brahms, among others.

      The album opens with a series of Schubert's lieder, including selections from "Winterreise," a cycle that Prey performs with a depth of emotion and nuance that has made it a benchmark for singers and audiences alike. His rendition of "Der Lindenbaum" and "Der Leiermann" are particularly noteworthy, capturing the essence of Schubert's poetic genius. Prey's ability to convey the subtle shifts in mood and meaning within these songs is a testament to his artistry.

      The compilation also features a selection of Brahms' "49 Deutsche Volkslieder," where Prey's voice shines with a warmth and clarity that brings these folk tunes to life. His performances are marked by a keen sense of phrasing and a deep understanding of the musical and textual nuances.

      Beyond the well-known works, the album delves into lesser-known gems, offering a comprehensive exploration of Prey's repertoire. His collaborations with the Nordwestdeutsche Philharmonie add a rich orchestral depth to the performances, enhancing the overall listening experience.

      "Icon: Hermann Prey" is not just a collection of songs; it is a celebration of a remarkable career. Whether you are a longtime admirer of Hermann Prey or a newcomer to his artistry, this album offers a profound and enriching experience. It is a must-listen for anyone interested in the golden age of classical singing and the enduring legacy of one of its greatest practitioners.

      About Hermann Prey

      Hermann Prey, the renowned German lyric baritone, captivated audiences with his versatility across the Lied, operatic, and concert stages. Born in Berlin in 1929, Prey's early life was marked by the tumultuous era of the Third Reich, narrowly escaping conscription as World War II ended. His American debut in 1952 with the Philadelphia Orchestra and Eugene Ormandy launched his international career, culminating in a memorable recital debut at New York's Carnegie Hall in 1956.

      Prey's repertoire was vast and impressive, with a particular affinity for the works of Schubert, including his iconic song cycles "Die schöne Müllerin" and "Die Winterreise," as well as the collection "Schwanengesang." His interpretations of Robert Schumann, Richard Strauss, and Gustav Mahler were equally celebrated. Beyond Lieder, Prey was a frequent soloist in Bach's Passions and Brahms' "A German Requiem," showcasing his deep musicality and emotional range. His discography, featuring works from Beethoven to Strauss, stands as a testament to his enduring legacy in the world of classical music. Prey passed away in 1998, leaving behind a rich musical heritage that continues to inspire.
